BRIDGE ST.
The State setting determines whether the Bridge is active or inactive. An inactive Bridge does
not occupy a time slot on a WAN link. Set the state setting to stdby (standby) for Bridges that
are not being used or have not yet been configured. Set it to actv (active) for Bridges that are
ready for use.
MAX PORTS
This number is set by the user to define the number of ports to assign to the bridge, from 2 to
32.
NOTE: increasing this number requires that the bridge be taken out of service. If a bridge may
grow one day, it may be advisable to over-provision the number of ports. If a three-port bridge
is needed, the operator could see the potential for growth and set this number to five. If in the
future a fourth and fifth participant needs to be added, then this can be done without taking the
bridge out of service since the max ports setting allows for growth. If however max ports is
set to match the current requirement of three, then the bridge would need to be taken out of
service for a fourth participant to be added.
